Tougher Than I Remember! :D | July 20, 2014

by Joe

Argh! I don’t know how I did 3 scenes a week back in the day! :D Sorry for missing the goal again! I guess I’m not Germany in the BRA vs. GER game (sorry for the late and awful World Cup joke).

Got a lot of big freelance projects ongoing and I’m pleasantly surprised how in-demand pixel art is. I’m also trying to find time to update The Monolith! But, it’s great to be busy and I’m glad I can keep The Pocalypse going with the goal of once-a-week updates still in sight.

Enjoy Scene 25 – “It’s Up to Joe”!

You can follow The Pocalypse on Facebook, Twitter for updates!

I think you guys are taking Niko a bit too seriously. As he’s said “has wanted to be a big brother all my life (12 years is a long wait)” he’s probably 13-14 years old. Ignore the child as he knows less than Jon Snow.

We need to elect a prophet to keep all our hopes up through these difficult times,i have a history of visions,but it usually ends up being about me surrounded by a lot of hot naked women….

I really mind the slow down at all. As long as new chapters keep coming, that’s good enough for me. And I have a question… Joe, by the end of the series, will these questions be answered?
-What are the origins of the machines and monsters, including plants.
-Will humanity regain the Earth?
-Will we meet all the other experiments?
-What will become of Victor?

@WM28UK 1.I did not say anything mean.
2.I may be thirsty for new scenes but not for haterade (See what I did there?)
3.Your being H
ypocritical, shut the hell up totally goes against what you were saying.
4.Hypocritical again, you said not to speak for the people and your doing it anyway.
5.The only time “people” replied to what I said besides you and Urist was when I had my dear analogy which was taken the wrong way and then I explained myself.
6. You were rude and wrong once, deal with it.

@Niko All this could have been avoided if you never started this argument, because everyone here is worse off because of it. Nobody wins. Now if you truly and definitely believe you’ve said nothing wrong and that you are absolved of all your responsibility in causing this entire argument, I have a feeling maybe everyone here would be happier if you either stopped stoking the fire or left. Look, I can’t MAKE you do anything. It’s still up to you. Just try to make the right choice.

Wow, this is weird. I read this since 2011 i think, and i never posted a single comment before…i guess it’s a good time to do it now ^^’
Well…guys (And girls, if there’s any here xD) just stop all this…how can i say…”War”?. I’m sure Joe is working a lot to give us more scenes. From everything that happened so far, he got a lot of different responsibilities but he never forgot about The Pocalypse, he never forgot about us. I know each one of you that still check the website everyday,like me, just can’t help but love this crazy story. So please guys, if you can, just keep waiting, sooner or later Joe will give us an update, but just remember, life can change, and so do responsibilities. Thanks ^^

well, dear. you are QUITE the party animal. besides, wouldn’t that be a foursome?
(enter Pheonix Wright ‘cornered’ music) and thus disproving your FALSE RHYME!?

WM28UK

Nope we rejected the Neeson,although he did call me after the rejection and said something about finding me and killing me….no idea what that was about!

(Pheonix Wright music still playing) ah-HA, a clear contradiction! -finger point- you said earlier:
“She suggested Liam Neeson, I said no way my dear. Only if we invite Britney Spears!” you claimed that liam Neeson was indeed a part of this, so he was allowed as long as Britney Spears was invited! yet now you claim he had no part in this! a contradiction with your original testimony! -TAKE THAT!-

Urist

OBJECTION!!!
It is clear through cause-and-effect that if Liam Neeson was invited then Britney Spears would have had to be invited as well. You can conclude that Ms. Minaj did not want Britney to come so Liam Neeson thus had to be rejected as well.

(the music won’t stop at this point) -von karma snap- exactly. he claims a threesome, and yet, no matter which way you think of it, it couldn’t have been. it was either just the duo, or it was a foursome, -desk slam- disproving and thus undermining the entire rhyme! the defendant, WM28UK, is clearly lying, now that we can see it no longer rhymes.

Urist

Ahh but you don’t realize. obviously, a third party, that is neither Liam Neeson nor Britney Spears, could have been suggested, one that both Niki Minaj and WM28UK agreed on. To continue this case, we clearly need a second stanza.

WM28UK

To the prosecution i meant “ONLY IF WE INVITE BRITNEY SPEARS” aka “I WILL ONLY DO THE 3-SUM IF BRITNEY SPEARS IS THE 3RD MEMBER” not “ONLY IF LIAM NEESON IS INVITED THEN BRITNEY SPEARS CAN COME ASWELL” i think the prosecution needs to read more carefully your honor!

i believe that the defense needs to revise their testimony, seeing as it’s the entire centre of the confusion. does the defense object to this?

Urist

no objection here. In fact, due to the frustration I have towards my client, I suggest a 30 minute recess, to perform a rigorous “interrogation.”

Noblues

alright, is everyone back? the defendant will provide his new, revised
(and don’t forget, rhyming) testimony.

I’ll admit to being slightly confused, but I also have not made the effort to understand. So I’ll just assume that they were amused by it.

thinking about it now, that would bias the judge a fair amount. do we have any volunteers to be the judge? -and pie will be served at the concessions afterwards.

So much for the update every week. Or two weeks. Or three weeks. Or four weeks. Or five weeks. Or six weeks.

I was wondering if he should look into partnering up with Hiveworks or somn. That way he’d get more views and make some cash off of the adds for it. I expect that if it were a possibility, and were he the sort to even consider it, then he’d need to get back onto a schedule first.

I’ll admit, I feel like a jerk for mentioning such things though. Almost as if we shouldn’t even be discussing such things. I suppose that, for me at least, it doesn’t matter at the end of the day. If Joe updates three times a year I’ll still stop in, fairly regularly, to take a look at it. Eventually I’ll slow down and not check as much, I have a life and things I need to take care of too, but for a good long while yet I’ll still be about.

I think this 100th time I’ve said that.
